That was confused me, aged 4. "No, I've *been* to school"

It must be quizzy Monday when you find yourself frustratedly shouting "It's the Hokey Cokey" at your TV #onlyconnect

When Neil Young was searching for a Heart of Gold I was in the 6th form - and now look at us!

youtube.com/watch?v=-owK... Sadly, another year when @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social reads the list of women killed by men. Tragic BUT Jess now taking real tangible actions to reduce this number. No one has more passion for this challenge.

I once needed a book here in sunny Olney that was only available from Huddersfield University Library. It arrived with in 2 weeks but I could only have it for 2 weeks and it wasn't renewable - but I still got the book I needed.

Stop telling me to ‘celebrate’ #iwd2025 when we are facing an uphill struggle to win the argument for equality even though it’s the key to economic growth. It’s like telling me to smile because I am gritting my teeth for the road ahead- this video is for all who feel the backlash and do it anyways …

Sorry, forgot Alt text. Is a screenshot of the aurora borealis from a webcam at a Shetland windfarm.

'Safety first' when sacking Rome.
The same young lady with goth makeup, a black Victorian-style dress, and dark hair: the classic 'goth look'.  The original image is labeled "goth", while another one has been composited on with a high-vis yellow work vest like those used on construction sites, and below it it says "Visigoth".

Stolen from the Internet.

Annual reminder… Blue Monday is pish and nonsense. Do NOT let anyone tell you otherwise. To anyone attempting to monetise it, you are the problem. As you were x #mentalhealthmatters

I'm fairly sure it was only ever 'preference' not 'choice. So much smoke and mirrors.

Every woman I know has a scary story about a man, from my mother, through my sisters, to my partner. That's not even counting my female friends. The stories aren't mine to tell, but they're there. And I've got news, guys. These aren't imaginary men, from a land far away. It's us.

The idea: You put out bird feeders to attract pretty small birds to your garden. The reality: Jackdaws

A long but worthwhile day today. A patient information event of talks and Q & A sessions facilitated by Scoliosis Support & Research in Nottingham. It meant driving for 2 hours up the hellscape that is the current state of the M1. On the plus side, lunch was provided - and lots of coffee! #Scoliosis
